Corinth Station is a proposed A-train commuter rail station that would serve the city of Corinth, Texas.

History

In 2003, following the creation of the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA), the city of Corinth was one of five municipalities in Denton County to vote against joining the new transportation authority. [1] After the A-Train began revenue service in 2011, rail service from Denton to Lewisville began with no stops in Corinth city limits. In the years after, proposals to call another vote to join DCTA were floated in Corinth, but ultimately never happened. [2]

Corinth renewed discussions with DCTA for an A-Train station starting in 2019, hoping to stimulate growth and new developments along the rail line. [2] [3] As of October 2025, the station is still in the planning phases, with Corinth expected to pay for the development of the station and its platforms.
